It\u2019s worth checking out IGN\u2019s The Boys Season 5, Episode 6 review<\/a> to find out what we thought of this week\u2019s episode, but to briefly recap, supervillain Homelander finally gets hold of V-One after spending much of this fifth and final season searching for it. He injects it straight into his bloodstream and, suitably powered up with all the immortality this original super serum grants, lets off a red laser beam into the heavens.<\/p>\n It\u2019s very bad news for The Boys, who had planned to use a supe-killing virus to put an end to Homelander\u2019s tyranny. Now that (presumably) won\u2019t work, how will Butcher and co. emerge victorious? Fans have a theory, and Homelander\u2019s father, Soldier Boy, is the key.<\/p>\n Before Soldier Boy hands over the last of the V-One to Homelander, he gets it from Bombsight, a fellow V-One powered supe made famous in the 1950s. But Bombsight only hands it over to Soldier Boy because Soldier Boy promises to use his high-intensity radioactive blast power to destroy V-One in his body, thus ending Bombsight\u2019s immortality and allowing him to live and die as a mortal. Episode 6 shows Soldier Boy doing this to Bombsight before Homelander enters the fray, and it\u2019s successful. Bombsight appears fully mortal, and he is delighted.<\/p>\n You can probably see where this is going. The fan theory, based on the idea that Bombsight losing his powers is foreshadowing, is that Soldier Boy will, over the course of the final two episodes, come to his senses and do the same to Homelander, thus de-powering him enough to be killed. Some fans are so certain this is where the story is going that they\u2019re saying the show has become predictable. \u201cThat’s so cool I wonder how they’re gonna defeat Homelander, wow what a mystery,\u201d one person quipped. \u201cThat’s the only way now I think,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n Vought Rising – First Look Images from The Boys Prequel Series There are some wrinkles in this theory, however. For one, Soldier Boy handed Homelander the V-One because, according to Soldier Boy, mutual love interest Clara Vought \/ Stormfront would have wanted Homelander to be the most powerful supe of all time. Would he really flip flop allegiances again? After freely giving Homelander V-One, would he strip away its power?<\/p>\n There are other theories. Perhaps Sister Sage \u2014 allegedly the smartest person in the world \u2014 will work out a way to make more V-One. Perhaps Homelander\u2019s son, Ryan, will come back into play and prove Homelander\u2019s undoing somehow. Perhaps the V-One Soldier Boy gave to Homelander doesn’t work properly, or has been tampered with. In truth, it\u2019s hard to see where The Boys goes from here, given Homelander can now begin his ascension to godhood. He is, for all intents and purposes, unkillable.<\/p>\n Fans won\u2019t need to watch Prime Video to find out, though. The Boys will screen its series finale in theaters in 4XD<\/a>, with Episode 8 set for May 19 at 9:30pm alongside the Prime Video release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
